Company Description

We’re in business to help people!

With our roots dating back to our formation in 1983, we began as a full service employee benefit brokerage firm. At the request of one of our clients, we began providing Cafeteria Plan administrative services to our clients in 1986 and expanded our services to include Health Reimbursement Arrangements in 2004. As an established benefit broker, our founder made the critical decision to stop writing new insurance coverage and elected to focus on the administration of TPA services.

As a growing family-owned business, we recognize the value of partnering with the very best. To build our distribution system, OCA made a conscious effort to reach out to the best brokers and general agents. Back in 1997 for compliance purposes we retained what industry experts consider the preeminent legal counsel in our industry, Alston & Bird. We have coupled this with industry leading technology and a core philosophy that we hire, train, and develop employees that know they have one fundamental job to do; to help people!
